Is there any point to 200 Aloha Links buddies?

[a passerby]

I got 200 friends now, but I'm wondering if there's any reward for 200 buddies?

You get a Dragon Kinagashi which is a 5* level chest equipment that gives +56 Defense, +45 Willpower and extends Buff durations on yourself. Honestly pretty underwhelming as you can get gear such as Wizard Robe or Mirage Coat that is much better. So aside from the completionist sake I don't think it's really worth it.

This is what I've gotten for 200 friends. You mean you get the exact same reward for buddies?

As far as I know, you get nothing. You also get nothing for finding or catching all the sujimon (league and sujidex). You also get nothing for completing Kiryu's special assignments (apart from the bonuses for each task). I thought it would affect the ending or open up some extra scenes or side-stories. You also don't get anything for defeating the arguably hardest boss in the game (which you are supposed to lose against at first).

Shame, I thought you'd get a battle with the doctor like in Y7 if you completed the Sujidex. Guess I'll give that a skip then

[starshipwaters]

can confirm from personal experience: 200 buddies has no reward.

[BeWasted]

Oh my bad, yeah I thought 200 friends, I completely misread that... Yeah getting all the friends to buddy level gives you nothing lol

[Wingnut Mcmoomoo]

the real reward was the friends we made along the way

I hate this, i spent hours powerleveling to beat that boss, and it gives nothing. Such BS. So many rewards are just so underwhelming.

As I said, you get nothing except the feeling of personal achievement. I did not notice, but I think there is not even an achievement (Steam or ingame) for completing the sujidex.

I know it's basically worth nothing, but I commend your commitment and congratulate you for beating this challenge. I did not have the patience for grinding or the strategical acumen to pull that off. And I spent 160 hours on the game, making my group so overpowered that I steamrolled the game once I finished all the side activities.

the dragon boots are pretty op on chitose if u have her exclusive outfit and paleo

yeah no achievements tied to any completion in the game. Super lame. At least the sujidex would have been a good one. I would have prefered achievements for completing the personality and bucket lists.

Personality unlocks some jobs and gives you the option to do some stuff. But mostly, it is meaningless things like being able to give the barkeep his third present (as discussed, gaining buddies doesn't do anything) or triggering one of the scenes in which Ichiban is violated by one of the women, which I found very discomforting to watch.
